Abstract
Introduction
Some retrospective analyses have documented better survival rates in female patients who have surgical resection of lung cancer in comparison to males with similar TNM staging [1]. However, some studies have documented that the recurrence patterns are comparable in both male and female subjects [2].
Method
Patients who had been diagnosed with non-small cell lung carcinoma at the ENH NHS Trust and had undergone curative intent surgery between 2010 and 2019, were systematically reviewed for demographic influence, including sex, on post surgical recurrence...
Results
We looked at 252 consecutive patients, with 114 [45.24%] females and 138 [54.76%] males, with a mean age of 69.62 years. The mean age of patients who suffered lung cancer recurrence was 68.53 years. The mean age of males with recurrence was 68.74 ± 7.84 and for females it was 68.28 ± 9.87 years. The prevalence of cancer recurrence amongst males was 24.64% and amongst females 24.56%. Mean time to recurrence among males was 852.15 days (SD 679.37) and females was 889.69 days (SD 872.88). Figure 1...
Conclusion
Our study showed that there is no significant difference between the sexes with regards to lung cancer recurrence following surgery, taking into account age, rates of recurrence and time to recurrence...
